Collectible glass object with hot-glass modeled<\/strong> and hand-painted meadow grasshoppers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The GRASSHOPPERS collector\u2019s edition follows on from the previous animal editions Plush Animals<\/a>,\u00a0Dark Cave Animals<\/a>, and\u00a0Feather Animals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the new edition, I address the\u00a0relationship between a vessel and an animal<\/strong>. A vase lying on a tabletop, into which a grasshopper jumps, which is observed by two others from outside the vase \u2013 here the tension of the boundary between life and death arises \u2013 if a grasshopper jumps into the vessel, it will probably not get out alive.<\/strong> Observed during glass storage, where insects often end their lives tragically (spiders, etc. in vessels). Another such example is a grasshopper covered by a container \u2013 a person\u2019s reaction to a creature they are afraid of or want to get \u2013 they cover it with a container, observe it, imprison it. In other vases, I also address relational and communication perceptions from nature, such as courting a partner, insects fighting for territory, etc. Here, the form of the vase is left with its neck up like a vase, often playing this neutral role at that moment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The vase objects are demonstrate the perfect glass craftsmanship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The hand-modeled figures<\/strong>, which are a faithful imitation of living creatures down to the last detail, were created by\u00a0glass master Martin \u0160tef\u00e1nek from Desn\u00e1, Czech republic<\/strong>.\u00a0I then paint the individual grasshopper figures by hand<\/strong>, and it was necessary to develop new colors for this painting and their subsequent fixation at high temperatures of glass melting in a glass furnace \u2013 i.e. without firing in a glass furnace, as is usually done. The figures are then hot glued to the vase.<\/p>\n
